Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition, a plate-shaped molded body, a multilayer body, a molded article, and a method for manufacturing a molded article. [Background technology]

[0002] Polycarbonate resin is widely used in various fields because, in addition to its excellent transparency, it has superior processability and impact resistance compared to glass, and it does not generate toxic gases like other plastic materials. It is also used as a material for thermoforming, such as vacuum forming and pressure forming.

[0003] On the other hand, polycarbonate resin generally has low surface hardness, making molded products made from polycarbonate resin prone to scratches. Therefore, when polycarbonate resin is made into a film, it is being considered to form a layer containing acrylic resin or a hard coat layer (protective layer) on the surface to prevent scratches on the product surface. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a laminated sheet for molding, which has a coating layer mainly composed of an acrylic resin (B) on one side of a base layer mainly composed of a polycarbonate resin composition (A) consisting of a polymer alloy of aromatic polycarbonate (A1) and another resin (A2), characterized in that the absolute value of the difference in glass transition temperatures between the polycarbonate resin composition (A) and the acrylic resin (B) is 30°C or less. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2009-196153 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] As described above, when a multilayer structure consisting of an acrylic resin layer and a hard coat layer is formed on a film made from polycarbonate resin, the acrylic resin generally has a lower glass transition temperature than the polycarbonate resin. Therefore, when thermoforming, especially when using a mold with a small radius of curvature, the acrylic resin layer stretches too much, and the hard coat cannot follow the deformation, resulting in cracks in the hard coat. One way to solve this is to thermoform at a low temperature to suppress the deformation of the acrylic. However, when thermoforming a multilayer structure at a low temperature, a phenomenon called springback occurs, where the multilayer structure returns to its original shape after thermoforming. Furthermore, it has been found that even if the occurrence of springback can be suppressed, the transparency of the film itself, which is made from polycarbonate resin, may be reduced. The present invention aims to solve the above problems and to provide a resin composition for producing a polycarbonate resin film or sheet that does not spring back and has excellent transparency even when heat-bending molded together with an acrylic resin layer, as well as a method for producing a flat molded body, a multilayer body, and a molded product using the resin composition.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as "the present embodiment") will be described in detail. The following present embodiment is an exemplification for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not limited only to the present embodiment. In this specification, "~" is used to mean including the numerical values described before and after it as lower and upper limits. In this specification, all physical properties and characteristic values ​​shall be those at 23°C unless otherwise specified. In this specification, "flat molded articles" and "multilayer articles" include those in the form of films or sheets, respectively. "Film" and "sheet" refer to molded articles that are thin in thickness relative to their length and width, and are generally flat. There is no clear distinction between "film" and "sheet," but generally, those with a thickness of 250 μm or less are called "films," and those with a thickness of 250 μm or more are called "sheets." Furthermore, "films" and "sheets" in this specification may be single-layer or multilayer. In this specification, "parts by mass" refers to the relative amount of a component, and "mass%" refers to the absolute amount of a component. In this specification, "(meth)acrylic" refers to both acrylic and methacrylic, or either of them. Furthermore, in this specification, a flat molded body formed from the resin composition of this embodiment may be referred to as a "polycarbonate resin film" or "polycarbonate resin sheet," and a layer containing acrylic resin may be referred to as an "acrylic resin layer." If the standards described herein differ in measurement methods, etc., from year to year, unless otherwise specified, the standards in effect at the time of filing shall apply.

[0010] The resin composition of this embodiment is characterized by comprising 70 to 99.8 parts by mass of an aromatic polycarbonate resin having an end structure represented by formula (1), 0.2 to 5 parts by mass of a polyether with a number average molecular weight of 6000 or less, and 0 to 29.8 parts by mass of another thermoplastic resin other than the aromatic polycarbonate resin having an end structure represented by formula (1). With this configuration, it is possible to provide a polycarbonate resin film or sheet that does not experience springback and has excellent transparency. Furthermore, a polycarbonate resin film or sheet with a low YI value can be obtained. In addition, when an acrylic resin layer and a polycarbonate resin film or sheet are made into a multilayer, the generation of foreign matter can be suppressed, the generation of cracks after heat bending can be suppressed, and furthermore, the multilayer can have excellent moisture and heat resistance after heat press molding. [Chemical formula] (In formula (1), R 1 represents an alkyl group having 8 to 36 carbon atoms or an alkenyl group having 8 to 30 carbon atoms. R 2 each independently represents a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms. n represents an integer from 0 to 4. * represents a bonding site with other sites.)

[0011] In this embodiment, by using an aromatic polycarbonate resin having a predetermined terminal structure and blending a polyether having a number average molecular weight of 6000 or less, it is presumed that the glass transition temperature of the polycarbonate resin film or sheet can be lowered without affecting other properties. And the difference in the glass transition temperature between the polycarbonate resin film or sheet and the acrylic resin layer becomes small, and it is presumed that the generation of springback can be suppressed while suppressing the generation of cracks even when thermoforming is performed. Generally, when an additive is blended into a resin, the glass transition temperature becomes lower, but usually, it has an adverse effect on other properties. For example, when a polyether is blended, generally the haze becomes high. In this embodiment, it is presumed that this point can be avoided by selecting a polyether having a small molecular weight.

[0012] [Aromatic polycarbonate resin] The resin composition of this embodiment contains an aromatic polycarbonate resin having a terminal structure represented by formula (1).

Examples of dihydroxy compounds constituting such other structural units include aromatic dihydroxy compounds described in paragraph 0014 of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-154819, the details of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Furthermore, when the resin composition is molded to a thickness of 1 mm, the YI value is preferably 5 or less, more preferably 4 or less, even more preferably 3 or less, and even more preferably 2 or less. The lower limit of the YI value is ideally 0, but 0.01 or higher is practical. In addition, the YI value can be lowered by incorporating a bluing agent, but this tends to decrease the total light transmittance, so an appropriate value can be adjusted considering the application and other factors.

[0035] <Flat-shaped molded body> The resin composition of this embodiment is preferably used in the form of a flat molded body. That is, the flat molded body of this embodiment is formed from the resin composition of this embodiment. The flat molded body of this embodiment has excellent resistance to moisture and heat. Examples of flat molded bodies include plates, films, and sheets. Furthermore, as will be described in detail later, the flat molded body may be included in a multilayer structure laminated on other substrates. Also, the flat molded body of this embodiment may be subjected to bending or other processes after being incorporated into a part of the multilayer structure. The thickness of the flat molded body is preferably 10 μm or more, more preferably 20 μm or more, even more preferably 50 μm or more, and may be 100 μm or more. Setting the thickness above the lower limit makes molding easier and tends to improve hardness. There is no particular upper limit to the thickness of the flat molded body, but it is practical to keep it at 5,000 μm or less. The flat molded body of this embodiment is formed by injection molding, extrusion molding using a T-die, or the like.

[0036] <Multilayer body> The flat molded body of this embodiment can be used as a multilayer body. The multilayer body of this embodiment has the flat molded body of this embodiment and a layer containing acrylic resin (acrylic resin layer). There are no particular restrictions on the thickness of the multilayer, but it is preferably 10 μm or more, and more preferably 20 μm or more. Furthermore, the thickness of the multilayer is preferably 10,000 μm or less, more preferably 5,000 μm or less, and may also be 2,000 μm or less. The multilayer body of this embodiment preferably further includes a hard coat layer. Providing a hard coat layer tends to further improve the surface hardness of the multilayer body. The hard coat layer is preferably laminated in the order of a flat molded body, a layer containing acrylic resin, and the hard coat layer. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a multilayer body of this embodiment, where, as described above, 1 represents the multilayer body, 2 represents a flat molded body (polycarbonate resin film or sheet), 3 represents an acrylic resin layer, and 4 represents a hard coat layer. The flat molded body 2, the acrylic resin layer 3, and the hard coat layer 4 may have other layers as long as they are laminated in the order described above, without departing from the spirit of this embodiment, but it is preferable that they do not have other layers, that is, that they are adjacent to each other.

[0037] Next, the acrylic resin layer will be described. The acrylic resin layer included in the multilayer body of this embodiment is a layer containing acrylic resin (preferably a layer in which 80% or more by mass of the layer is acrylic resin, and more preferably 90% or more by mass of the layer is acrylic resin). The inclusion of such an acrylic resin layer in the multilayer body of this embodiment tends to further improve the hardness of the multilayer body (especially the pencil hardness). The thickness of the acrylic resin layer is preferably 10 μm or more, more preferably 20 μm or more, even more preferably 40 μm or more, even more preferably 60 μm or more, and even more preferably 80 μm or more. The upper limit of the thickness of the acrylic resin layer is preferably 300 μm or less, more preferably 200 μm or less, even more preferably 180 μm or less, even more preferably 150 μm or less, and even more preferably 120 μm or less. By having such a layer thickness, sufficient scratch resistance and impact resistance can be obtained.

[0038] The acrylic resin used in this embodiment is a polymer of (meth)acrylate or a polymer of (meth)acrylate and other monomers other than (meth)acrylate, and there are no particular restrictions on its type. The polymer of (meth)acrylate and other monomers other than (meth)acrylate preferably has a (meth)acrylate content of 50 mol% or more, and more preferably 60 mol% or more. The (meth)acrylate may be an aliphatic (meth)acrylate or an aromatic (meth)acrylate, and it is preferable that it contains an aliphatic (meth)acrylate. By using a polymer in which aliphatic (meth)acrylate is the main component (for example, 90% by mass or more), the generation of foreign matter in the resulting multilayer can be effectively suppressed. Other monomers besides (meth)acrylates include styrene monomers such as styrene, maleic anhydride, and maleimide monomers such as N-phenylmaleimide.

[0039] In this embodiment, the acrylic resin can be an aliphatic (meth)acrylate, for example, a polymer of at least one of methyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, and ethyl acrylate. Among these, methyl methacrylate resin (PMMA: also called polymethyl (meth)acrylate), in which the main component (for example, 85% by mass or more) is polymerized from methyl methacrylic acid, is preferred.

[0040] The weight-average molecular weight of the acrylic resin is not particularly defined, but is preferably 10,000 or more, more preferably 30,000 or more, even more preferably 50,000 or more, even more preferably 60,000 or more, and even more preferably 70,000 or more. Setting it above the lower limit tends to effectively suppress the occurrence of cracks during thermal bending. Furthermore, the weight-average molecular weight of the acrylic resin is preferably 250,000 or less, more preferably 200,000 or less, even more preferably 150,000 or less, even more preferably 100,000 or less, and even more preferably 90,000 or less. Setting it below the upper limit tends to further improve the effect of suppressing the occurrence of flow marks during multilayer molding.

[0041] The glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin layer used in this embodiment is preferably 113°C or higher, more preferably 114°C or higher, even more preferably 115°C or higher, even more preferably 117°C or higher, and even more preferably 120°C or higher. Setting it above the lower limit tends to further improve the effect of preventing crack formation in molded products during the thermal bending molding of multilayer bodies. There is no particular upper limit, but for example, 200°C or lower is practical.

[0042] The acrylic resin layer is preferably formed from a composition containing acrylic resin (composition for forming an acrylic resin layer). The composition containing acrylic resin may also contain other components in addition to the acrylic resin, as long as it does not depart from the spirit of this embodiment. Specifically, other components include other thermoplastic resins, heat stabilizers, flame retardants, flame retardant additives, ultraviolet absorbers, colorants, antistatic agents, fluorescent whitening agents, antifogging agents, flow modifiers, plasticizers, dispersants, antibacterial agents, antiblocking agents, impact modifiers, sliding modifiers, hue modifiers, acid trapping agents, etc. One of these components may be used, or two or more may be used in combination. The total amount of the above-mentioned other components in the acrylic resin layer-forming composition is preferably 0.001 to 5% by mass, more preferably 0.001 to 2% by mass, and even more preferably 0.01 to 1% by mass, if present.

[0043] Next, the details of the hard coat layer will be described. The hard coat layer that may be included in the multilayer of this embodiment is a layer with a higher surface hardness than the polycarbonate resin film or sheet. By including such a hard coat layer, the surface hardness of the multilayer or molded product can be increased. The thickness of the hard coat layer is preferably 0.5 μm or more, more preferably 1 μm or more, even more preferably 2 μm or more, even more preferably 4 μm or more, and even more preferably 5 μm or more. Setting it above the lower limit tends to further improve the pencil hardness of the entire multilayer structure due to the hard coat layer. The upper limit of the hard coat layer thickness is preferably 20 μm or less, more preferably 15 μm or less, even more preferably 12 μm or less, even more preferably 10 μm or less, and even more preferably 8 μm or less. Setting it below the upper limit tends to further improve the processability when heat bending.

[0044] The hard coat layer is preferably obtained by applying a hard coat material that can be cured by heat or by active energy rays, and then curing it. Examples of coatings cured using active energy rays include resin compositions consisting of one or more monofunctional or polyfunctional (preferably 2 to 10-functional) (meth)acrylate monomers or oligomers, and preferably resin compositions containing monofunctional or polyfunctional (preferably 2 to 10-functional) urethane (meth)acrylate oligomers. It is preferable that a photopolymerization initiator be added to these resin compositions as a curing catalyst. Examples of thermosetting resin coatings include polyorganosiloxane-based and cross-linked acrylic-based coatings. Some of these resin compositions are commercially available as hard coat agents for acrylic resin or polycarbonate resin films or sheets, and should be selected appropriately considering their suitability for the painting line. For the hard coat layer, reference can be given to paragraphs 0045 to 0055 of Japanese Patent Publication No. 2013-020130, paragraphs 0073 to 0076 of Japanese Patent Publication No. 2018-103518, and paragraphs 0062 to 0082 of Japanese Patent Publication No. 2017-213771, and these contents are incorporated herein by reference.

[0045] The multilayer body of this embodiment may have other layers besides those described above. Specifically, examples include adhesive layers, tack layers, antifouling layers, and so on.

[0046] Furthermore, the multilayer body may have at least one of the following treatments applied to at least one of its surfaces: anti-fingerprint treatment, anti-glare treatment, weather-resistant treatment, antistatic treatment, anti-fouling treatment, and anti-blocking treatment. An example of the outermost surface of the multilayer body in this case is a hard coat layer. Anti-blocking treatment refers to a treatment that allows films to be easily separated even if they are in close contact with each other, and examples include adding an anti-blocking agent or creating irregularities on the surface of the multilayer body. The multilayer body of this embodiment can be formed by using a main extruder for extruding the resin composition of this embodiment and a sub-extruder for extruding the acrylic resin layer forming composition, melting the resin under the conditions of the resin used in each, guiding it to an extrusion die, and laminating it inside the die to form a sheet, or by laminating it after forming it into a sheet.

[0047] <Molded articles and methods for manufacturing molded articles> Next, a molded article using the multilayer body of this embodiment and a method for manufacturing the molded article will be described. The molded product of this embodiment is a molded product formed from the multilayer body of this embodiment. The multilayer body of this embodiment also has excellent heat bending resistance, making it suitable for applications involving bent sections. For example, it is preferably used in molded products having sections with a radius of curvature of 50 mmR or less (preferably 40 to 50 mmR). The molded article of this embodiment can be obtained, for example, by thermo-bending the multilayer body of this embodiment at 105 to 117°C. The multilayer body of this embodiment has excellent heat bending resistance, making it particularly useful when the molded article has a portion with a radius of curvature of 50 mmR or less. However, from the viewpoint of preventing springback and cracking, it is even more preferable to thermo-bend at 110°C or higher, and 115°C or lower.

[0048] <Application> The flat molded body, multilayer body, and molded product of this embodiment can be suitably used for optical components, decorative products, anti-reflective molded bodies, and the like. The flat molded bodies, multilayer bodies, and molded articles of this embodiment are suitably used in components for display devices, electrical and electronic equipment, office automation equipment, portable information terminals, machine parts, home appliances, vehicle parts, various containers, lighting equipment, and the like. Among these, they are particularly suitable for use in housings for various displays, electrical and electronic equipment, office automation equipment, portable information terminals, and home appliances, lighting equipment and vehicle parts (especially vehicle interior parts), surface films for smartphones and touch panels, optical materials, and optical discs. In particular, the molded bodies of this embodiment are suitably used as sensor films for touch panels and anti-reflective molded bodies for various displays. The multilayer body of this embodiment also has excellent heat bending resistance, making it suitable for applications involving bent sections. For example, it is preferably used in multilayer bodies and molded articles having sections with a radius of curvature of 50 mmR or less (preferably 40 to 50 mmR). [Examples]
